THIS is lovely. Be sure to watch it in full-screen mode for best effect. Looks like Jesse Jackson Jr. really DID intend to pay $5 million for obama’s senate seat. oops. Somali pirates are still buzzing the high seas in small boats and there’s nothing obama can do about it. Heh. Uppity reminds me that [...]

Cinie’s got BlagoBurris covered HERE. Sure, Burris always wanted the job; he seems to be a nice-enough, largely irrelevant, intensely ambitious, fuzzy little man, whose delusions of grandeur have probably always simultaneously been both his Achilles heel and his most endearing quality.  Let’s face it, all in all Burris, is a joke.  Blags and Co.

She started out at the University of Chicago Hospital in 2002 with a not-too-shabby salary of $120,000 to be director of public affairs (Heck, I’ll answer phones and write press releases for 120k!).

(h/t Uppity Woman) This is really pretty funny. Roddy puts Harry Reid and obama between a rock and a hard place. The rock is the Race Card, which Blago expertly played yesterday with the help of Bobby (“Do not lynch Roland Burris“) Rush, by appointing a forgettable black man to obama’s vacant senate seat. How can Reid [...]

As Maya Angelou says, when people tell you who they are, believe them. Bros before hos. Hillary is a bitch. Groping her is funny. Sarah Palin is a cunt. The obama movement told us who they are. But, it’s still hard to believe. Sheri and Harriet Christian and I will be sitting in for Betty [...]
